Summary

Ramsey Magnet School of Science is a PK–5 elementary school in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, serving 468 students within the Coeur d'Alene School District. Despite its strong district context, Ramsey's state ranking has declined notably over the past decade — from the 90th percentile in 2015-16 to 168th of 346 Idaho elementary schools today (51st percentile, 3 stars). That places the school in the middle of the pack statewide and near the bottom among its local peers. On recent ISAT assessments, Ramsey's math proficiency (45.2%) and ELA proficiency (55.0%) both fall below district averages (52.0% and 65.9%). Nearby schools such as Hayden Meadows Elementary School, Dalton Elementary School, and Sorensen Magnet School of the Arts and Humanities post substantially higher scores in both subjects.

Where Ramsey does stand out is science — fitting for a science magnet. Fifth-grade science proficiency (59.3%) matches the district average and exceeds the state average (44.0%) by a wide margin. The school also shows a striking grade-level pattern: 3rd-grade scores are dramatically below district averages (39.0% math vs. 62.7% district; 41.7% ELA vs. 64.5% district), but by 5th grade, students are much closer to district averages. This suggests either effective intervention in later grades or newer cohorts arriving less prepared — either way, early elementary stands out as a key area for improvement.

Two other factors deserve attention. Chronic absenteeism at Ramsey reached 21.7% in 2024-25, well above the state rate (14.6%) and far higher than nearby schools like Hayden Meadows Elementary School (0.9%) and Winton Elementary School (1.4%). The school has also seen a sharp rise in economic need, with free/reduced-price lunch eligibility jumping from 29.1% to 43.6% in one year. Yet peer schools show demographics don't determine outcomes: Winton, with a higher poverty rate (56.5%), still outperforms Ramsey in math and ELA. Bottom line: Ramsey is no longer the elite school it once was, but its strong science program, history of serving low-income students well, and clear opportunities in early-grade instruction and attendance offer a promising path forward.
